3825i/e Indoor Access Point

High Performance, Enterprise-Grade for Mission Critical Deployments

HIGHLIGHTS

BUSINESS ALIGNMENT

• Support for demanding voice/video/data
applications to enhance mobile worker
productivity and convenience

• Role-based grouping of users, devices,
and applications to deliver priority, QoS,
and security in accordance with business
needs

• Seamless roaming across an entire multi­subnet campus without the need for
cumbersome client software

• Integrated management, security, and
QoS features reduce operating cost and
ensure a consistent user experience

regardless of location

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

• Centralized visibility and control
from NetSight ™ accelerates problem
resolution, optimize network utilization,
and automate management

• Adaptive architecture reduces complexity
and optimizes information flow for
each application

• Dynamic Radio Management when used
for planning and monitoring ensures
optimal spectrum coverage resulting in
the best end-user quality of experience

• Flexible Client Access optimizes
throughput for 802.11ac/n clients in
today’s mixed ac, n, and a/b/g client
environments

Product Overview

The AP3825 is a high-performance 802.11ac and 802.11abgn indoor access point

purpose built for high-density deployments. This access point is designed to

operate in heavy-user and mission critical environments such as healthcare facilities,

universities, conference centers, arenas, and stadiums. Active/active data ports and

multiple power options ensure that the AP3825 provides always-on connectivity.
This high-performance access point is equally adept at serving high-bandwidth
video applications as well as low-latency voice applications. The AP3825i comes
with an integrated six antenna array for ease of installation. The AP3825e requires

professional installation and includes six RP-SMA antenna connectors supporting

both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band antennas. Unique to this class of access point, the

power ecient AP3825 uses 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) without reducing

its performance nor degrading its enterprise-grade capabilities. An optional
external power supply is available for deployments that do not support Power
over Ethernet.

The AP3825 is built on the newest Wi-Fi technology including 802.11ac, dynamic

radio management, and spectrum analysis with interference classification, beam

forming, self-forming and self-healing meshing, security, role-based authentication,
authorization, and access control. The 3x3:3 platform is capable of delivering

1.75Gbps over-the-air-performance and up to 75,000 packets per second on the
wire port. The use of a dual core CPU and a network co-processor for oine frame

processing ensures that there are no bottlenecks in the data path when packets
are processed through the slow path from the air-to-the wire. Multiple antenna
oerings (e.g., omni, sector, and panel) ensure that the AP3825e deployment can

be optimized to meet any coverage or capacity need.

SECURITY

• Authentication and authorization
functions include role-based access
control (using 802.1X, MAC, and captive
portal) and authentication at the AP

• Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIPS)
functions provide continuous scanning,
threat classification, rogue AP detection,
and countermeasures against possible
attacks

• Integration of security policies (NAC,
IPS) across the wired/wireless networks
enables quick diagnosing and resolution
of security threats

• Integration of Policy Manager across the
wired/wireless networks dynamically
oversees user access at the wireless

network point of entry

SERVICE AND SUPPORT

• Industry-leading customer satisfaction
and first call resolution rates

• Lifetime warranty for indoor
access points

• Personalized services, including site
surveys, network design, installation,
and training
